Daily Devotions for Sunday 12th July, 2020

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from the Living God

Reading : PSALM 23 verse 3

Meditation : take time and consider these words this Sunday morning.
Restoring and guiding.
What will you ask God for today?

And then pray in response to the LORD our God who restores and guides.

O LORD our God,
Good and gracious One,
We bow before You.
We lay our lives before You.
O fill us with your Spirit afresh
For of ourselves we get it so wrong
Today and every day!
Restore us
Guide us
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Midday
Pray the Prayer for the Month as your midday prayer

Loving Father,
We face a wide river and we long to reach the other side;
And we must use the stepping stones offered to us.
You say, ’When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
When you pass through rivers, they will not sweep over you’.
Our trust is in you, O Lord.
In Jesus’ name. Amen

(Isaiah 43.2)

Evening
Reading : read this verse again from PSALM 23
Reflect on all that is said here in this one verse and then Pray in response to this God

O LORD, our guiding and restoring God,
hear our evening prayers we ask
As we thank you for what we read
As we look back over our day
As we look ahead to tomorrow
As we name before you those we are concerned about.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Thy Kingdom Come #prayfor

As a Church we recently took part in the global prayer venture of Thy Kingdom Come.
This ran during the 11 days between Ascension and Pentecost.

Each Saturday at 12 noon we are continuing to ask and seek and knock on Heaven’s door…..’Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done’…..and to pray for up to 5 people we know to meet with Jesus and to experience God’s Kingdom reign in their lives.

This week we focus on the theme of PRAY FOR as we pause to pray with others.

We name before God those we have been praying for to meet with Jesus and to experience Kingdom life and blessing.

We name before Father God those we know in need at this time.

We pray for our national leaders…our Church leaders…in these days.

We pray for our world…..have mercy O God we call out!

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
